Hi Pete, others! I found the issue I was searching for: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-58 One of the discussions in the EG meeting was about whether we like to have 1 AnnotatedType per physical class or if we allow for multiple of them. Both ways have pros and cons.  If we just have one AT per Class, I think we don't need the freshly introduced ProcessSyntheticAnnotatedType neither. Especially the trick with the getSource() sounds pretty error prone to me. LieGrue, strub
